Thing 4 - Flickr: Beagle in the park

Beagle in the park, a photo by klickbrett on Flickr.

I chose this wonderful beagle picture to blog about in thing 4. The reason I chose this particular picture is because we adopted a beagle this past weekend from a local rescue group in Houston. Her name is Sophie, and so far, she has been a wonderful addition to our family! Origianlly we were looking for an older beagle, around 4 or 5 years of age, however, when we met her, she was just so loving and kind (and actually somewhat calm :)) and we knew that we had to bring her home. Abby has been wanting a dog since we lost our lab this past December, and needless to say, they have had tons of fun playing together for the past few days. The reason I chose this particular picture is that I think it really captures the beagle spirit and looks quite a bit like our Sophie! I especially love this dog's expression and his nice droopy ears. He looks just like Sophie does when we are at home....ready to be a part of the family and of course PLAY!

Oh yes....they are like two peas in a pod! Of course, the constant screaming is about to drive Chip and I crazy but at least they are enjoying each other! :)
